motus 6.1.1

  • Add support for Sigma Eight receivers

motus 6.1.0

  • fix bugs in tagme()
    • tagme(dir = ...) now correctly downloads projects as well as receivers and respects the skipXXX arguments
    • tagme() for receivers now skips node downloads if receiver is not a SensorStation
    • tagme() fails gracefully if the directory specified does not exist
    • Fixed Error in as.POSIXlt.character(x, tz, ...) when starting a download
  • tagme(new = TRUE) now starts a download immediately
  • Add srvTimeout() to specify the server timeout limit
  • Clean up helper functions sunRiseSet() and timeToSunriset()
  • Replace use of ggmap with ggspatial for creating plots with static maps.
  • Clean up docs for tagSum()
  • Add helper function tagmeSample() for an in-memory connection to the sample data base for running examples
  • Remove any functions that rely on deprecating spatial functions
  • Remove year, month, day fields from activity tables.
  • Standardize names in docs and examples
  • Update tests internally
  • Remove placeholder for French documents (will add back in once we get translations)

motus 6.0.1

  • Fix bug in xxxRunsFilter() functions resulting in the inability to correctly return the filter id

motus 6.0.0

Potential breaking change

  • Changed internal method for loading SQLite databases. Now uses standard method with DBI::dbConnect(). Previously, users applying DBI functions to databases loaded with tagme() had to use the $con sub-element of the connection. $con should no longer be used (it will result in an error).

Functions removed

  • Remove functions safeSQL(), sqliteToRDS()

Bug fixes

  • fixed bug in deprecateBatches() which caused an error when removing deprecated batches from receivers.

Other

motus 5.0.1

Bug fixes

  • fixed bug in deprecateBatches() which caused an error when there were no batches to deprecate.
  • ensure new databases are fully up-to-date (without needing to immediately update).

motus 5.0.0

New features

  • New allruns and allrunsGPS views for quicker first passes of the data with large datasets
  • New field/column attachment in tagDeps table

  • New field/columns stationName and stationID in recvDeps tables
  • gpsAll() and activityAll() functions allow downloading complete records of GPS points and Activity
  • Deprecated batches are now returned to a new table deprecated on tagme()
  • deprecateBatches() function to fetch and (optionally) remove deprecated batches from all relevant tables

Bug fixes

  • fixed bug in filterByActivity() resulting in NA probabilities
  • fixed bug in getGPS() which crashed if ts had been converted to date/time format

motus 4.0.6

Bug fixes

  • fixed bug resulting in missing metadata tables, and permission errors resulting from JSON formatting

Bug fixes

  • fixed rounding error in filterByActivity() resulting in mismatched hourBins
  • fixed incorrect receiver types and model assignment for CTT receivers

motus 4.0.1

Bug fixes

  • Add age and sex to metadata in tagDeps table
  • For CTT SensorStation V2
    • Add lat_mean, lon_mean, and n_fixes to gps table
    • Add nodets, firmware, solarVolt, solarCurrent, solarCurrentCumul, lat, and lon to nodeData table
    • Add validated to hits table

Bug fixes

  • Downloading hits no longer fails if extra columns are supplied by the server

Internal changes

  • Internal workings of major motusUpdateXXX() functions split into multiple smaller functions to make testing more efficient

  • Continue checking for activity/nodeData even if first batch returns 0
  • nodeDataId is corrected to nodeDataID
  • Warn users with custom views if they need to be removed prior to updating

motus 3.0.0 (2019-10-16)

Big Changes

  • Switch to data version 2
    • Includes new CTT antennas
    • Includes nodeData and nodeDeps tables for node related data and metadata.

Small Changes

  • Replace all cat() with message() (now suppressible)
  • Add recvUtcOffset and tsCorrected to alltags view

motus 2.0.0 (2019-08-12)

Big Changes

  • Combined motus and motusClient packages

  • New function filterByActivity() allows users to create custom filters using data from the activity table.
  • Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package
  • Added support for httr for server queries
  • Added ?motus package documentation
  • Added unit testing

Bug Fixes

  • Fix references to ggmap to avoid having to get Google API keys

Other

  • All examples are tested

motus 1.0.0

2017 Sep 25

  • tagme() / tellme() and supporting functions are now in the motusClient package, which is automatically installed from github the first time you do library(motus) after installing the motus package. If automatic installation of motusClient fails, you can install it directly like so:

install_github("motusWTS/motusClient")

2017 Jul 28

  • tagme() - for updating local copies of receiver or tag project detection databases
  • tellme() - for asking how much data will need to be transferred by the corresponding tagme() call

The latest version of the data server that works with this package is now running on a new box, but its database is only populated with data from 4 (!) receivers. Raw files from other receivers will be re-run with the latest version of the tag finder and added to this database. Only those users willing to wrestle with alpha code and not actually interested in getting their data should be using this package for now.
